It’s time for the fabulousness of the Friday Fictioneers where bloggers from around the solar system are challenged to write a 100-word story prompted by the weekly picture hosted and posted by Rochelle Wisoff Fields over at Addicted to Purple. This week’s picture was provided by Rochelle herself:

The Day Beethoven Over Schlepped

Beethoven!

What now, Mozart?

You broke my piano!

But I was sleeping.

You broke it when you rolled over, Beethoven! You’re a horrible roommate!

You’re no prize yourself, Zart.

I told you to call me Mozart! It suits my artistic temperament better!

Really? Better than knucklehead?

That does it! Pack your symphonies and go move in with Schubert.

Ah come on! You know that guy puts the phony in symphony. Listen, I’ll buy us a new piano.

And now I have Roll Over Beethoven stuck in my head, alternating back and forth between the Chuck Berry original and the excellent Beatles cover. Not a bad ear-worm to have, though, i must say. Funny stuff as per usual, darling.

Interesting!
It never occurred to me that Beethoven and co, had portable pianos plugged to electricity.
I have always associated them with massive organs that can’t be broken by rolling over.
Very creative piece, my dear.
I’m still laughing! 🙂

I guess I have heard of someone being called a schlep. It’s a wonderful word isn’t it? Tailor made for the humor writer in all of us! And I can’t believe it is one of your many nicknames. But I bet there’s a good story behind it, and I hope we will be hearing about it one of these Fridays! 😀

Neat take on this prompt, Linda. And I’d be willing to bet that these guys really were this ordinary in their own time. We’ve just grown too used to putting them on some pedestal and letting them collect dust there. We don’t appreciate how “real” they were. Thanks for the reminder.

That’s so true, isn’t it Sandra. I guess that’s why these scenarios work so well in humor. It is funny to think of them as just ordinary people.And who knows, they might have been really boring in real life. 😀
